If Democrats are serious about trying to turn Texas blue, they should
get a gander at a just-released poll of Lone Star State voters that
found 67 percent of Republican respondents support the impeachment of
President Obama.
Of greater concern for liberals: the poll was conducted by the left-leaning Public Policy Polling.As a whole, Texans opposed impeachment 50 percent to 39 percent.
But in the crosstabs, PPP broke this down by party affiliation with
Democrats opposed 83 percent to 12 percent, Republicans in favor 67
percent to 18 percent, and Independents opposed 54 percent to 32
percent.
Amazing that even 12 percent of Democrats support impeachment.
Also interesting was the racial breakdown concerning this issue with
Whites supporting impeachment 48 percent to 41 percent, Blacks opposed
80 percent to 15 percent, and Hispanics opposed 58 percent to 30
percent.
Again, it's amazing that even 15 percent of Blacks would support his impeachment.
It was also fascinating to see the breakdown by age as people older
than 65 supported impeachment 46 percent to 38 percent, folks 46 to 65
opposed 46 percent to 42 percent, and people 18 to 45 opposed 66 percent
to 27 percent.
So in Texas, the older you are, the more likely you want Obama impeached.
Something else to consider is that 56 percent of respondents were women with 44 percent men.
As women were far more likely to oppose impeachment (53 percent to 36
percent) than men (46 percent to 41 percent), a more equal sampling of
the sexes would have found a greater percentage of Texans supporting
impeachment.
